Quaker Leadership Scholars Program

On Monday I arrived at Guilford College to start my freshman orientation. I had to be here a few days early so that I could get to know my year level in the Quaker Leadership Scholars Program (QLSP).

The first activity we did as a group after getting to know each other was a game called Agree or Disagree. In this game a bunch of questions are asked and everyone answers them for themselves. Most of our questions were questions about our faith. All the questions were on a scale. One of the things I noticed was that I was one of the few kids who were not in the clump of people. On theological questions about the bible or christocentric language I was one of the few people who was excepting. It was interesting for me to realize how comfortable I felt when answering some of the questions.

Afterwards we had a discussion about how the experience felt to us. I liked the activity and said so but then at the end I had one other piece of ministry that had a risen for me. At one point Max Carter had commented that my dad was one place higher then him on one of the conversations. He did it straight to be because he was playing around with me. But I had to bring it to peoples minds that we are in college and college is a time for people to figure out who they are as an adult. It was nice to say that because then I felt like I was letting the labels of my parents off my back even though I do like to identify with that.

I am glad that I had some extra time here to get to know QLSP and I can't wait to get to class so that I can get to know this group even more.
